Answer:
e. Red segregated from brown in meiosis I, and straight segregated from curled in meiosis I.
Explanation:
A cross between two flies heterozygous for both genes produced an offspring with the phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. This ratio is expected according to Mendel's law of independent assortment, which states that alleles of the same gene assort independently during gamete formation.
Before meiosis starts in flies, a single diploid cell duplicates its DNA, so each chromosome has 2 sister chromatids that contain the same information.
- During meiosis I, <u>the homologous chromosomes separate</u> into two daughter cells. The chromosome number is reduced by half, but each chromosome has two sister chromatids.
- During meiosis II, <u>the sister chromatids separate</u> and each daughter cell from meiosis I divides into two new daughter cells (to get the total of 4 haploid cells).
In a heterozygous fly, each homologous chromosome contains a different allele, and the sister chromatids are copies that carry the same allele. For that reason, both traits were segregated during meiosis I.
Gregor Mendel crossbred two different pea plants. One of the plants had yellow peas (a dominant trait) and one of the plants had green peas (a recessive trait). The yellow pea plant was heterozygous for its trait meaning its alleles will be Yy. The green plant, because it is recessive, was homozygous for its trait, yy. When these plants were crossbred, two of the offspring resulted in heterozygous for the yellow trait and the other two offspring were homozygous for the green trait.
The four levels of protein structure are distinguished from one another by the degree of complexity in the polypeptide chain. A single protein molecule may contain one or more of the protein structure types: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure. 1. Primary Structure: describes the unique order in which amino acids are linked together to form a protein.
2. Secondary Structure: refers to the coiling or folding of a polypeptide chain that gives the protein its 3-D shape. There are two types of secondary structures observed in proteins. One type is the alpha (α) helix structure. This structure resembles a coiled spring and is secured by hydrogen bonding in the polypeptide chain. The second type of secondary structure in proteins is the beta (β) pleated sheet. This structure appears to be folded or pleated and is held together by hydrogen bonding between polypeptide units of the folded chain that lie adjacent to one another
3. Tertiary Structure: refers to the comprehensive 3-D structure of the polypeptide chain of a protein.
4. Quaternary Structure: is the structure of a protein macromolecule formed by interactions between multiple polypeptide chains. Each polypeptide chain is referred to as a subunit. Proteins with quaternary structure may consist of more than one of the same type of protein subunit.

D. Toxic , the other options do not refer to something necessarily harmful to the human body or poisonous. Human hair is ignitable, acid in the stomach corrodes food through chemical reactions so toxic is the only option left.
